Or more global audience since its a forrest gump adaptation? 

I highly doubt western audiences watch sonyliv or voot or zee5

Why would the global audience want to watch a remake of FG? I never watched the southern versions of Munnabhai MBBS. Those versions were not made for non-South audience, the South also never made the mistake of catering those to us. 

Made for locals, catered to locals.

Global audiences are not like North Indians, FG is 30 years old film and not 1 - 3 years film which so fresh in their head, different people may be interested to watch it. 

And South Indians can happily Watch a Bollywood remake in their Languages, They not so toxic as you guys. 

I never watch remakes (mostly) as I speak/understand all 4 south indian languages and hindi 

so I always watch the original, unlesss remake is playing on TV and I watch out of curiosity or interest 

but south they watch remakes because most (except in some parts) dont speak hindi, so unless the film was dubbed and released well most wouldnt have watched the original 

also there is no goldmine equivalent for hindi to south

but now i see that changing, as lot of ppl are questioning remaking as they too have started watching originals on OTT etc 

western auidence dislikes dubs, they prefer subtitles, they dont mind adaptations though but I doubt LSC would have appealed as one has to know the politics and events in India to grasp it

Makes sense. They shouldn't have to pay triple what the film actually did at the Box Office. Especially considering that Netflix is also struggling as well

Behen pehle padhna toh seekh lo jholi mein liye "toxic" word ko auron ke upar barsane se pehale. 

Wont it release on Amazon Prime? Otherwise YouTube is the best option. Bohat views mileinge

Why should netflix bear the loss because of substandard product. Good decision.

They ve to pay to Netflix to stream on it 😆

isnt a deal struck with Viacom18's streaming portal Voot already ???

That's what's surprise me to the so called Bollywood audiences, Their is nothing wrong or shame in remaking a film as along as you have bough rights, 

their was this dude in YouTube he kept replaying to any comment which said good thing about being exited about the film LSC and telling that's its copy don't watch it.
